Liver Health...Keeping It Clean I have a vacuum cleaner that I use at the fitness center to keep the rug clean. It works really well and picks up all kinds of debris that gets tracked in. I noticed after a while that it wasnʼt picking up stuff as well and at a point I was going to replace it. I decided to take it apart one day before I decided to throw it away. When I did, I found a hidden air filter I didnʼt know about. I took it out, cleaned it, and low and behold the vacuum worked like new. Just basic maintenance I guess. The same is true with our bodies. We have all kinds of filters that pick up debris and need to be cleaned out once in a while......or they just stop working. A liver cleanse is one of my top anti-aging protocols to keep my body young and working properly. I use to do one every year. Now that I know how to do it and realize the benefits, I try to do one every three months. There are a lot of different protocols for doing a cleanse. I use the one with Epsom salt, grapefruit juice and olive oil like this recipe: http://healthybliss.net/ gallstone-liver-flush-recipe-cleanse-info/ As with all my articles, you need to do your own research and decide if this right for you. Just google “benefits of liver cleanse” and you will find a host of articles explaining the benefits of doing something like this. I believe living a long healthy life is not just an ac- cident. It just takes basic maintenance. Regular exercise is an important one. Stop by my fitness center someday and Iʼll show you an easy way to stay in shape. Peace.
